Twelve things I have never said

1. No, no, I can only eat two squares of that at a time.  Too rich.

2. Let's not go into that stationery shop and look at coloured pens.  Let's go and buy some garden shears.

3. Pff!  Elastic waistbands?  But why?

4. No salted nuts for me, please.  Dinner's only half an hour away.

5. Go cycling after Sunday lunch?  Oh, darling, you have the BEST ideas!

6. I know, I know, the bookshelves are stuffed to perdition.  I'll get rid of some.

7. I really think we should go on a mountaineering holiday this year.

8. Go on the bus?  Boring or what?

9. You know, I really think this plunge-neckline figure-hugging sequinned ballgown suits me.  Especially when I run.

10. Oh, how I love getting up at 6 every morning for work.  So invigorating.  And just listen to that birdsong!

11. You're right - there really are too many soft toys around the house.

12. Let's put mirrors in all the rooms.  I need more opportunities to see myself sideways.

  1. Me either! And never will! I'm not sure about the soft toys thing. I'm afraid to inquire too closely. Do you mean like stuffed Easter bunny rabbits (I hope) or...don't tell me.

  3. #9 pinged a mental picture of the last time you wore that. Weren't you running for the bus???

    Hilarious, Fran! And you do this when you get up at 6, is that right? 'Cos the birdsong puts you in the mood...

  5. Sharon - I mean teddies, ducks, giraffes, dogs, sheep ... a whole variety of stuffed animals. They are everywhere, on shelves and cupboards and beds. It's like a zoo here.

    Little Miss English Teacher - glad you found your way here. Hope you'll stick around even though I'm not a Miss any more. (Well, I am, but not here ...)

    Deborah - You have such a good memory! Yes, I really should stop wearing it unless I'm standing absolutely still.

    Brennig - Hi there! Thanks for coming along!

  7. haha! Another awesome "me list." Hey, I just took a closer look at your profile picture. You're so mysterious. Love it.

  8. Alan - that'll be the salted nuts, presumably. I can just see you in a sequinned ballgown ....

    Lesley - you know what they say about people who love lists, don't you? And I have to say, as far as I'm concerned, they're dead right! Glad you like my profile picture. It's my favourite photo of myself.

  16. Friko - I have covered the ears of all my teddies, rabbits, penguins, dogs, giraffes, etc, in case they heard what you said. Cruel. Cruel.

  17. Having an inborn horor of lists, I have one sentence which will cover all possibilities of utterences that will never pass my lips - " Let's have a clear out of..." (insert your own words to finish the statement.)
    P.S. I not only collect soft toys - I occasionally stuff a few too...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Jinksy - how do you live without lists?

    I'm the opposite to you. I'm always saying, 'Let's have a clear out of ...' because I love throwing things away. I'm also always saying, 'Oh, I really wish I hadn't thrown away that ...'
